Here’s what’s happening in the Chattanooga area this week.
DID YOU KNOW?
Candy canes from Georgia and MoonPies from Tennessee have placed fourth and fifth, respectively, in a survey of Americans’ most popular festive traditions. The Southern-based sweet treats trailed Ohio’s buckeyes, the top contender, a confection made from a nugget of peanut butter fudge partially dipped in chocolate. Two lighted attractions took the second and third spots in the survey: the River Walk in San Antonio, Texas, and Genesee Brewery’s keg tree in Rochester, New York. Alabama’s Wonderland Under Warrior, a Christmas attraction in a cave, placed 14th. Bobs Candies in Albany, Georgia, is the largest manufacturer of striped candy in the world. MoonPies have been made by Chattanooga Bakery since 1917. The survey for Mixbook, a photo book creation company, polled 1,500 Americans for their answers.
